The type I keratin 17 (K17) shows a peculiar localization in human epithelial appendages including hair follicles, which undergo a growth cycle throughout adult life.
Additionally K17 is induced, along with K6 and K16, early after acute injury to human skin.
Predominant expression of K17 and the frequent expression of K8 and K19, with little K6/K16 and K1/K10 expression are the characteristic features of basal cell carcinomas (BCC).
This expresssion indicates BCC is differentiated towards undifferentiated follicular epithelia, most probably hair bulge cells.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilution:Immunohistochemistry (frozen & formalin/paraffin): 1:40-1:80 for 30 min at RT.
Note: Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for 10-20 min., followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:Squamous cell carcinoma or skin
